Electronic device with a touch screen and touch operation control method utilized thereby

Abstract

In a touch operation control method, touch operations on a touch screen of an electronic device are controlled. The touch operation is detected when the touch screen is touched, and the touch operation is analyzed to determine whether the touch operation is a tap touch or a hold touch. If the touch operation is the hold touch, a target area is determined from a user interface displayed on the touch screen, and operating options of the user interface that are within the target area are enlarged by displaying the target area full screen on the touch screen.

1 . A touch operation control method of an electronic device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:
 detecting a touch operation on the touch screen;   determining whether the touch operation is a tap touch or a hold touch;   determining a target area from a user interface displayed on the touch screen, and enlarging operating options of the user interface that are within the target area by displaying the target area full screen on the touch screen, if the touch operation is the hold touch; or   controlling the electronic device to execute a function corresponding to the tap touch if the touch operation is the tap touch.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the target area is a rectangular region on the user interface having a geometric center that is a touch position of the touch operation, where length of the rectangular region is determined as a first preset distance, and width of the rectangular region is determined as a second preset distance. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the operating options are icons or texts of the user interface. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the tap touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for less than a predetermined time. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the hold touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for more than the predetermined time. 
     
     
         6 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a touch screen;   at least one processor;   a storage system; and   one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:   a detection module operable to detect a touch operation on the touch screen;   an analysis module operable to determine whether the touch operation is a tap touch or a hold touch;   a determination module operable to determine a target area from a user interface displayed on the touch screen if the touch operation is the hold touch; and   an implementation module operable to enlarge operating options of the user interface that are within the target area by displaying the target area full screen on the touch screen, or control the electronic device to execute a function corresponding to the tap touch in response to the touch operation being the tap touch.   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device according to  claim 6 , wherein the target area is a rectangular region on the user interface having a geometric center that is a touch position of the touch operation, where length of the rectangular region is determined as a first preset distance, and width of the rectangular region is determined as a second preset distance. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device according to  claim 6 , wherein the operating options are icons or texts of the user interface. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device according to  claim 6 , wherein the tap touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for less than a predetermined time. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device according to  claim 9 , wherein the hold touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for more than the predetermined time. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device, to perform a touch operation control method, the method comprising:
 detecting a touch operation on a touch screen of the electronic device;   determining whether the touch operation is a tap touch or a hold touch;   determining a target area from a user interface displayed on the touch screen, and enlarging operating options of the user interface that are within the target area by displaying the target area full screen on the touch screen, if the touch operation is the hold touch; or   controlling the electronic device to execute a function corresponding to the tap touch if the touch operation is the tap touch.   
     
     
         12 . The storage medium as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the target area is a rectangular region on the user interface having a geometric center that is a touch position of the touch operation, where length of the rectangular region is determined as a first preset distance, and width of the rectangular region is determined as a second preset distance. 
     
     
         13 . The storage medium as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the operating options are icons or texts of the user interface. 
     
     
         14 . The storage medium as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the tap touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for less than a predetermined time. 
     
     
         15 . The storage medium as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the hold touch is a touch operation on the touch screen that lasts for more than the predetermined time.
